29th July 2012 - Pendle Hill

Walk Details

Distance walked: 5.1 miles

Total ascent: 1265 ft

OS map used: OL21 - South Pennines

Time taken: 2.5 hrs

Route description: Barley-Lower Ogden Reservoir-Upper Ogden Reservoir-Boar Clough-Pendle Hill-Pendle House-Ing Head Farm-Ing Ends-Barley

Sunday morning saw plenty of showers but around lunchtime the weather seemed to be improving so I decided to have a walk up Pendle Hill. From Barley I walked up Ogden Clough past the reservoirs to take the path up Boar Clough to the summit. The way back was the path down the east side of the hill. I got caught by a couple of showers and it was cool and windy on the top but with the weather at the moment you have to take any chance you can get.
